Project update May 2016 The Grand Parade and President Avenue, Brighton-Le-Sands The NSW Government is funding this project as part of its $300 million program which aims to ease congestion on Sydney’s key southern corridors by improving major pinch points. The proposal includes providing an additional right turn lane from The Grand Parade into President Avenue. Roads and Maritime Services sought feedback from the community and stakeholders on the proposal in December 2015. We thank everyone who took the time to consider and comment on the proposed improvement. We received feedback from 30 people, raising 53 different matters. There were 20 responses supporting the proposal. Of these, 16 people suggested further improvements or changes. Five people did not identify their position and five opposed the additional right turn lane. Following a review of feedback, we have decided to proceed with the proposal we took to the community in December 2015 with some minor amendments. These changes include: Moving of the kerb and gutter and widening on the western side of The Grand Parade will now be carried out on the eastern side The safety guardrail on the western side of The Grand Parade is no longer required as there are no adjustments being carried out on that side.

We plan to start construction work in June 2016. The work will include: Providing an additional right turn lane from The Grand Parade into President Avenue Removing about nine car spaces on the eastern side of The Grand Parade. Replacing car spaces is not part of this project as it would require road widening and acquisition of public waterfront recreation land. Off street is available on a number of streets and there is also an open public car park available 250 metres south of President Avenue Relocating and consolidating the two bus stops southbound on The Grand Parade opposite Banks Street and north of President Avenue to a new location about 100 metres south of President Avenue Relocating drainage pits and repairing drainage pipes Adjusting kerb and gutter, road widening and line marking on the eastern side of The Grand Parade Removing some of the existing raised median Relocating and upgrading traffic lights, street lighting and underground utilities Upgrading existing pedestrian ramps Installing pedestrian fencing along The Grand Parade centre median between President Avenue and Banks Street Tree trimming and vegetation clearing Removing and replacing asphalt.
